Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Nanoscience, the behavior of physical systems when confined to near atomic, nanoscale dimensions together with the physical phenomena that occur at that scale, is currently one of the most dynamic and rapidly developing areas of interdisciplinary research in applied physics. Nanotechnology is the branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules. Applications are wide and varied, including energy production and storage, drug delivery, materials science, and many others.
